Cool business intelligence: Rich interfaces, in-memory analytics, and social networking
Cindi Howson from IntelligentEntreprise writes about the latest innovations on the business intelligence market. It seems she read in our minds. I can’t think of a better way than his article to express what we are trying to achieve with bime. Next some highlights, but please read this article.
Rich interface because:
Embrace rich reportlets and interfaces for their capability to make BI engaging to existing users and more appealing to new classes of users.
In memory Analytics (once loaded):
In-memory means super fast — a million times faster than accessing the same data from a disk.
By having all the data in-memory and displayed in this associative way, the analysis is more visual and can be executed at the speed of thought.
Web 2.0:
Mashups offer BI developers a faster way of combining data and displays from multiple sources.
It seems we score 3 out of 3 in a single product.
(Bonus) Software as a Service:
With a tight economy and limited IT resources, SaaS solutions offer departments and smaller companies a way to get into BI quickly, with pay-as-you-go pricing.
